Where Am I? I know exactly where I am!

Whenever I need to know what’s changed or what remains, Flight Aware makes it easy, quick and accurate!

Helps me follow my kids when they are flying.

I love this Tracker. Sometimes the children don’t let me know when they have landed and they both travel with work. I love being able to watch them taxing, flying and landing.

STILL NO LIVE ACTIVITY SUPPORT

IT LOOKS LIKE THE DEVELOPS HAVE NO INTERESTS ON FOLLOWING USER’s FEEDBACKS! It’s been many years now, and every time there’s an update, I always check to see if the most wanted feature – “Live Activity” – has been added. But it’s still not supported. I’ve thought about switching to another flight tracker app that does have Live Activity, but kept waiting, hoping this FlightAware Flight Tracker app would finally add it. The developers fix bugs, but they never add new features. There’s not even a widget to show live flight information. The app feels very outdated!
